A wIrE's AWFUL SECRET.
Forced to Live For Years With the Man
Who Had Killed Her brother.

EoEGf0 10 Live Eof NehLe WIN tAA0 N.e--
Who Had Killed Her brother.
MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, May 2.-Mia
Day, the sister of Mr.. A. ]. Kent we'll
to-do farmer Of Baldwin county, will be
lodged in the lunatic asylum here this
week.
The cause of her lunacy is peculiar.
About eight years ago one Of her brothers
went to South Carolina, where he got en-
ployment. One morning his dead body was
found on the public road with bullet in
his heart.
The assassination was mystery which
was never cleared up. The body was sent
home and buried, and in time the story
was forgotten.
Some months after this occurrence q
young man named Day made his appear
anee in the neighborhood OF the Kent
mansion. Miss Kent, who was then bud
ding into the charms Of womanhood,
looked ON him with favorable eye, and
soon the couple were engaged. The en-
gagement met with the opposition Of the
young lady's relatives, but was ended in
due time by marriage. Day and his wife
removed to the neighborhood of Troy, Ala,
since which time the family has heard but
little ofthem.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Kent, after long
silence on his sisters part, received o let-
ter from her in which she begged for his
assistance, as she had been deserted by her
husband. Her story was o sad one. With
great particularly of details her husband
had pictured to her the murder Of her
brother, Gaping the climax by declaring
himself the murderer He threatened the
poor woman with instant death if she
should reveal the secret. For years she
had carried the terrible secret, becoming
the mother Of three children by the mur-
derer of her brother.
At last, broken down under the weight
of her grief, Mrs. Day confided the story
to neighbor. Her husband got an ink
ling of the fact, and left, warning the wo
man that he would yet wreak vengeance
on her. Last week she reached the home
of her brother in this county, but despite
kind treatment it became evident that she
was maniac. She pictures to herself the
midnight scene on q country road in South
Carolina with the dead body OF her brother,
and standing over 1t the form Of her hus

Base Ball News.

Those of our people who have kept a
critical eye upon the home base ball team
during the exhibition games of the past
two weeks were not bit surprised, yes
terday, on receipt OF the news from Steu-
benville that the Green Stockings had
scored handsome victory in their tussie
with the Steubenvjlle club. This victory
makes our bOysstart out on the right road,
and they only need to stick to it to come in
with colors flying at the end of the
season. But to do this they must pay at
tention to two or three things, such as over
confidence and carelessness, liable to spring
from early victories. The exercise OF care
and discretion, and good, hard work all the
time, will tend TO keep success with them
right along, and this must he the endeavor
of every individual member of the team.
Following is our report Of yesterday s
games:

CINCINNATI, May "A very extensive
and disastrous lockout was inaugurated in
the shoe factories here to-day. 1t has
been the custom for several years for the
proprietOrs and employees to send delegates
to form board of arbitration for the pur-
pSse of fixing the rate of wages each year.
Six of the eight assemblies of employees ap-
pointed delegates, but two assemblies,
composed Of lasters and filters, the latter
women and girls, refused to send delegates.
ThereupOn the prOprietors have shut out
all members. These two assemblies pun
Der about 1900 persons. Their stoppins
will cause other branches to suspend and

Boston Beats Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, May AFTER having
to-day's game well in hand. the Philadel-
phia's inlield went TO pieces in the fifth in
ming, permitting the Boston team to run
up six runs, not one of which was earned.
Up to this time the pitching of Burlington
had been first-class, but he seemed to be-
come demoralized by the errors, and after
that he was hit rather freely. The field
ing on neither side was anything to brag
of, but the Phillies were unfortunate in
getting their errors together Kelly dis
tinguished himself at right by making two
muffs, one of which was the rankest kind.
He came into catch in the sixth, and his
presence behind the bat seemed to give the
visitors the confidence they lacked in the
early part of the game.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The Athletics
to-day got the hang of Terry's heretofore
bothersOme delivery and hit him with a
freedom that finally became monOtonOus.
Weihing, who pitched his first game for
the Athletics, was quite effective, not be-
ing hit to any extent except in the fifth
inning. The fielding of the BrOoklyns
was rather slovenly, while that of the
home team was sharp and at times almost
brilliant Larkin was sent to first on balls,
the first five times he came to hat.

STEUBENvILLE, o., May 2.-The Wheel
ing club won a clear victory to-day under
very adverse circumstances, one of them
being the umpire. The day was perfect
one, and the people turned out in great
shape, there being fully 800 on the grounds
when the game opened, including num-
Der from Wheeling. There was good
brass band in attendance, and music was
furnished at intervals The visitors led OIL
with a run in the first, and followed it
with another in the third, while the home
club was blanked. Both teams drew goose
eggs in the fourth, but in the fifth the
home team, more by good luck than any
thing else, rolled up four scores, and as the
visitors were bIauked it began to look Il
little chilly for Wheeling. The visitors were
a little demoralized at this stage Of the
game, but in the sixth they pulled them
selves together and pounded out two good
runs, making the score so far tie. The
excitement was now intense, and in the
seventh, when the home club made two
more scores, there was great cheering.
The visitors were not discouraged. how
ever, and went on with determination to
win, and win they did, by one point.
